Hi, I have no experience with threading - I'd appreciate any advice.

I'm using the vibrate function from the miso module. Commands in my program have to wait for miso to finish before they execute. So if I call a 5 second vibration, the next commands won't execute for 5 seconds.

Can someone show me how to pop the miso.vibrate call in a separate thread please so my commands can continue while the vibration takes place? I have no idea how to do this, and have turned up no joy searching for threads or threading.

Thanks, John

    miso.vibrate(1000,60)
    img.clear()
    img.text((115,168), u"1", fill=(0,0,0), font="title")
    canvas.blit(img)

import thread, miso
    
def vibrate(time, intensity):
    miso.vibrate(time,intensity)

thread.start_new_thread(vibrate, (1000, 60))

[y.a.k]

Yes, this should work (if you're allowed to call miso.vibrate from subthreads). If all you want is to call miso.vibrate, you don't even have to define a function.

import thread, miso

thread.start_new_thread(miso.vibrate, (1000, 60))

Thank you to both of you, I'll check those out.
